A part of the Singapore Night Festival, Aesop's olfactory installation at the National Design Centre celebrates the 'Art of Play' theme through scents.
More than any other sensory experience, scent has the power to trigger memories, long-forgotten feelings and moods. This installation pays homage to this visceral connection. Resembling a mystical bamboo forest, the arboreal structures emit a soft glow from within. Each of these pillars hold scents of Aesop's Eaux de Parfums including the latest creation, Virēre.
The showcase will run from 23 August to 7 September 2024.
#5 Kiehl's x Rise Bakehouse
